children's book

Kids are a real source of inspiration. I enjoy watching the way they act, play, discover and even cry. Their reaction to the world is still honest and it seems like their presence conveys a certain magic.

So creating drawings while looking through the eyes of a child is a real challenge and incredibly rewarding at the same time.

mode

It all started with my mum's Nähcafe where everybody is welcome to learn how to make beautiful clothing.I wanted to make some vintage styled designs for its decoration.

I ended up enjoying it a lot. I have always loved magazine and fashion illustration. So with my new found confidence there will be more to come in this section.

the colourful sketchy

This section might be one of my favorites because it feels very free to me. I can put a lot of my personality in it. I take the sketches I deem most expressive and sometimes a bit surreal and polish/colour them.

So I hope you have a colourful sketchy time!

Blickwinkel Comic

The Blickwinkel Comics tell stories about people of various social backgrounds, ethnic origins and personal beliefs and their view on topics of public interest and situations of everyday life. Seemingly familiar topics are seen from a different angle and ideally might cause the readers to get interested in searching more information on the topics.

life drawing

Life drawing is so much fun! Every model is different and is a challenge and a joy to draw. The uniqueness of the models anatomy and expression inspires me to push his or hers peculiarities a bit further. Sometimes the conncection between the model , me and my pencil sparks something special, maybe even a great life drawing.

clay

Sculpting is fun. It is such a great experience to make something 3dimensional.A few months ago I finally bought some oven-bake clay. I made some sculptures out of plastecine first to get a feeling for it. Then finally I tried out super sculpey and made a capricorn head. It's a good material to work with and I'm looking forward to do more figures and heads.
